Voting for 90ยฐ clockwise to spite that other guy.

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

you show him.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I voted for the other guy, but now Iโ€™m conflicted and just decided to vote for you too even though I know the other guy is technically correct

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

That averages to not rotating it at all, which seems to be correct.

[โ€“] [email protected] 43 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Vote here for right side up

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It is definitely right-side up in the pic. I can't read it, but I can recognize the signature and hanko as being right-side up.

Can I vote for rotate 90ยฐ counter-clockwise? I know it's objectively wrong, but I also think it looks the nicest.

I'm tempted to tell her this is the answer just for shits and giggles

Thanks! Is that the same kanji? they look so different.

My wife is from Osaka, Japan. She read it as that kanji, so I'm trusting her ๐Ÿ˜†

Edit: This page has an image of the same kanji (Michi) that looks more like the one posted. https://www.towofu.net/soft/e-kanji.htm

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

That's the one I thought of as well. Additionally, the signature is correct in this orientation.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Oh haha then I'm sure its right!

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

I am terrible at reading handwritten kanji, but that red stamp on the signature, however, is without a doubt the right orientation.

Generally when you have "dots" like the ones you see on the top, the thinner side of the brush stroke starts at the top. (้“)

I think the photo shows the picture in the correct direction. If not, well, it happens to the best...

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Loool I will use this the next time I want to bash abstract art

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Flip it this is the wrong side of the page

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

It's definitely the right way up.

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago

Vote here for upside down
